Chapter 409: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (34)
"What did you find?" Mu Changqing immediately came to Shu Shichu and asked her in a soft tone while looking around.
"Look at the arrangement of these reefs. Isn't it more regular than those in other places? Those in other places are all messy, but here there is a feeling of being surrounded by stars and the moon..." Shu Shichu pointed at several reefs in front of him and said, then as if he remembered something, he immediately opened his treasure map.
"I understand!" Shu Shichu excitedly slapped the treasure map and said in surprise.
"What did you understand?" Mu Changqing asked curiously. When the others heard her words, they all gathered around her. At this time, no matter whether she really understood or not, everyone was very happy to hear her words. After all, it represented hope. Even if it was a vague hope, it could give them some confidence during these days when they had gained nothing. Otherwise, they would be in despair.
“Look, the adjacent black dots in this picture, although they look messy, we previously thought they were insignificant markings, but in fact, as long as we connect them with lines, don’t they seem to radiate from a certain point as the center? Although it’s not a standard circle, it’s generally a circle.” When Shu Shichu said this, everyone saw it and immediately felt like their Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and their minds suddenly became clear.
"Do you think these points on the map represent the reefs that are like the moon surrounded by stars in this place?" Mu Changqing said the key point at once. When the others heard his words, they immediately looked at the current terrain.
Shu Shichu walked towards a tall reef nearby, flew up using his Qinggong skills, and when he stood on the high place and looked down, the sight became even more obvious.
Mu Changqing and Xiao Yihan also flew up with a light tap. Like Shu Shichu, they looked at where they had just stood. Xiao Yihan's eyes lit up and he said, "It's just like what Miss Zhan said. It's exactly like the picture! It looks like the entrance is probably at the center of the reef."
"This time it is all thanks to Miss Zhan's attentiveness and intelligence!" Xiao Yihan said, looking at Shu Shichu with great gratitude. He used to think that Shu Shichu was a burden, and if it weren't for Mu Changqing's insistence, he would never agree to let Shu Shichu join; later, when Shu Shichu took out her treasure map, he immediately felt fortunate that he did not firmly refuse her joining; but now, Shu Shichu directly found the entrance to the most likely treasure place that none of them had found, and Xiao Yihan's impression of Shu Shichu could not be better.
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just lucky." Shu Shichu said modestly.
Shu Shichu said with a smile: "Let's verify my guess quickly. If we guess wrong, we have to keep looking. We can't waste time." She had just finished speaking, but when she glanced inadvertently, she seemed to see a few small black dots coming from the distance on the sea that seemed like the horizon.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Are those black spots ships? What is the possibility that we will encounter other ships here? Could they be pirates?"
Xiao Yihan and Mu Changqing's expressions suddenly froze and they looked in the direction Shu Shichu pointed. They were both martial artists with sharp eyesight and they quickly realized that those ships were heading towards them.
"Not good! Maybe the Anti-Heaven Cult has come!" Xiao Yihan said coldly, "We have to find the entrance quickly. We can't let the Anti-Heaven Cult get there before us. They have more ships than us... We may not be able to defeat them this time."
Mu Changqing's expression also became serious at this time, and he said to Shu Shichu: "There is no time to lose. Those boats will reach us in less than an hour. We can't let them pick the fruits. Hurry up."
Shu Shichu naturally knew the urgency of the matter, so without saying a word, he jumped off the big reef and came to the center point. Sure enough, he found a reef that looked ordinary but was actually carved into a strange rock by humans.
"Let's find the entrance from here. The people from the Anti-Heaven Cult are coming." Shu Shichu said to Ji Feibai and the others.
"What? People from the Anti-Heaven Cult are coming?!" Le Wanrou screamed, her face changing.
Shu Shichu gave her a cold look and said, "Shut up and get to work!"
Although Ji Feibai and the others were also shocked, they knew the priorities of the matter, so they worked together and indeed found something that was clearly a stone door under the reef with traces of man-made activity.
"Brother Xiao! Sure enough, this is the entrance, this is the stone gate!" Ji Feibai shouted excitedly.
"Be careful, there may be hidden weapons inside." Xiao Yihan reminded him and went forward to look for the mechanism to open the door.
The door of a place like this used to hide treasure cannot be a simple door, it must be a secret door.
Xiao Yihan is worthy of being the male protagonist, he does have some abilities. He quickly found the mechanism and turned it with force. The stone door below slowly opened, revealing a two-foot wide hole.
Before they could be surprised, a fierce rain of arrows whizzed towards them. Fortunately, they were skilled enough to avoid the hidden weapons.
Shu Shichu looked at the arrow on the ground, which was shining coldly. The tip of the arrow was stained with something purple. She immediately understood and said, "The arrow is poisonous. You should be careful."
Although the rain of arrows was fierce, there were only a limited number of arrows. So after all the arrows were shot, everyone went in through the cave. It was obvious that the treasure trove of the previous dynasty had been there for hundreds of years. The cave had been buried deep underground for hundreds of years and had not been opened. The air obviously did not smell good, it was stuffy and there was a very irritating smell in the air. Everyone could not stand it and it took a while to adapt before they could continue to move forward. But at this time, even the most delicate Le Wanrou did not complain.
"I don't know if the air that hasn't been circulated for so long will be poisonous. I have detoxification pills. You can take them as a precaution." Shu Shichu didn't bother with them at this time. He took out the detoxification pills he made and distributed them to Xiao Yihan and the others one by one.
After taking the detoxification pills, the group continued to move forward, passing through several stone doors, mechanisms and hidden weapons. Although dangerous, they were all eliminated one by one. They also bypassed several confusing passages. Perhaps it was the halo of the protagonists that helped them find the correct passage and safely reach the real treasure.
"So many jewels..." Le Wanrou stared in amazement at the treasures emitting dazzling light in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim.
A dazzling array of various gemstones and jewels were piled up in large boxes. There were so many that even the lids could not cover them. There were also many skins of ferocious animals, various agates and jades... Of course, there were even more boxes of gold and silver, which were simply dazzling.
